Workload-Specific Hardware Accelerators


Workload-specific hardware accelerators are becoming essential in large data centers for two reasons. One is that general-purpose processing elements cannot keep up with the workload demands or latency requirements. The second is that they need to be extremely efficient due to limited electricity from the grid and the high cost of cooling these devices. Sharad Chole, chief scientist and co-foun... » read more

What’s Different About HBM4


Memory bandwidth is limiting the flow of huge datasets that are needed to train AI models. There is much more data to process, store, and retrieve, but the speed at which that data moves through high-bandwidth memory (HBM) stacks is significantly lower than the speed at which data can be processed. Frank Ferro, group director for product management at Cadence, talks about the new HBM4 standard,... » read more
